Removing the Steering Wheel to Replace the Horn

Model: Land Rover Discovery MK 2, Discovery 2, L318 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Steering wheel

Before proceeding, activate the switch located on the dashboard that disables all installed airbags. The location of this device is clearly marked, and if in doubt, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual. Start by removing the retaining screws of the airbag module, accessible through the holes on the sides of the steering column using an Allen wrench. Loosen the screws and carefully pull the airbag cover away, disengaging the plastic clips. Once the airbag is removed, disconnect the two connectors located on the back by releasing the small plastic tabs with a tool. Be careful not to drop the airbag module, do not place it near intense heat sources, do not carry it away, do not shake or hit it, as it may explode. Replace the horn button and carefully reassemble the airbag and other components.
